Cole Eiguren arrived at the 2026 Cheyenne Frontier Days entered in two events and left with $11,100, an all-around championship and a buckle tied to generations of family history.
Most of Eiguren’s Cheyenne earnings came in the tie-down roping, where he won his bracket, placed second in the semifinals and finished fourth in the finals for $10,100. He did it aboard Stoner, the 8-year-old grade red roan gelding his family bought as a colt and selected specifically for Cheyenne’s walking-fresh setup.
In this episode, Eiguren walks through his bracket win, the semifinals and the added urgency behind his finals run. He also explains why Stoner excels on fresh calves, what he learned after tearing his MCL at Cheyenne in 2025 and how he kept the all-around race out of his mind with one calf left to rope.
The buckle itself carries even more meaning. Eiguren’s grandfather won five Cheyenne buckles, including an all-around buckle that Eiguren’s mother now wears. With his first child due in October, Eiguren’s new buckle may one day become part of that same family tradition.

Today is dedicated to the memory of Monty Roberts, who passed away over the weekend.

Cole Eiguren has a legacy in front of him of family who tend to win buckles at the Cheyenne Frontier Days.
All before he backed in the box at The Daddy of 'Em All, the 25-year-old Fruitland, Idaho man had years of the men in his family winning in Cheyenne, giving him the perfect opportunity to uphold the tradition between the two events he entered. Between the calf roping and the team roping, Eiugren won just over $11,000, placing in the calf roping and coming out of the Wildcard round to the semifinals in the team roping.
All of this led to him being named the 2026 Cheyenne Frontier Days All-Around Cowboy, a dream that couldn't have came true at a better time.
In this episode, Eiguren breaks down how he and Dylin Ahlstrom came to rope together at Cheyenne, their trip through the wildcard and how it helped him get the buckle that now hangs on his belt. Eiguren also talks about horsepower, how special the win was for he and his young family, and how a not-so-great ending in the team roping led to a victory lap he'll never forget.

In this episode, Ray Smith, PhD, of the University of Kentucky, in Lexington, explains how you can prepare today for healthy pastures through the fall and even into next spring. He describes common mistakes farm managers might make when caring for horse pastures, why planning ahead is essential for health pastures, and how to help your pastures recover from summer grazing.
